In a loose interpretation of the original Sanskrit Alan Ford wrote: :> :>Are you telling us that Labor may elect another lying, self rightous :>bastard like the former PM then? Whatever you may think of PJK, he was strong in his belief in himself, rarely flustered by events, and confident in his own ability. So to, is John Howard. You might call it charisma or whatever, but a large organization of individuals with different points of view needs some kind of strong central personality to help them act cohesively. You will agree that the liberals, before JH hit his straps, were a pretty rogh rabble that shared little more than a love of a good chablis and a fine camambert after supper. Anyhow, what I am saying is, that no matter what PJK was, or had become with time, he had at his core a strength of purpose that a future leader would require in order to challenge the libs. Perhaps Kim will get this with time, but as yet, he is still too much the amiable gentleman. Who knows...maybe this radical approach may surprise us all :) A country full of helpful, honest, friendly politicians with our interests at heart..God spare us :) :> :>Cheers :>Alan :>|____________________________\|/_____________________________| :>Alan Ford aford@pcug.org.au Canberra Australia :>Homepage: http://www.pcug.org.au/~aford :>ANGFA (ACT) Homepage: http://www.pcug.org.au/~aford/angfa.htm :> -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Michael Paxton +61 6 2533047 |What you cant do with a number 14 chicken, pickle@blitzen.canberra.edu.au |two stuffed hamsters and caterers jar of u913184@student.canberra.edu.au |vegemite is probably not worth doing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^http://blitzen.canberra.edu.au/~pickle^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
